Custom formatted metric doesn't show up on visual

[lucas105]

Hi, 

I'm struggling with an issue - I'm working on a PBI connected to an Analysis Services instance. 

What I was trying to achieve is to display a custom format depending on a value to show it in a custom format i.e. 

myMetricCustomFormat:=IF([myMetric]>1000000, FORMAT([myMetric] "#,0,,.00MM"), FORMAT([myMetric], "#,0,.00M"))

However, when I'm trying to show this on visual other than Table/Matrix/Card won't show up (I'm trying to display that on donut chart). 

Can someone tell me what's wrong with this? Or is this even achievable? 

Thanks,

Luc

Hi @lucas105 ,

The format function you add to your dax formula will convert original values as text with a specific format.
AFAIK, current power bi does not support analysis text value on value fields, it only supports summarize field values.  New field format feature can change display value format but it seems not support to do conditional formatting.
